Blatant manipulation of the findings of the study in order to further the aims of what looks like some kind of crypto-rag. From the abstract of the paper:<p>“indicating that (with the exception of aluminium) cryptomining consumed more energy than mineral mining to produce an equivalent market value.”<p>In reference to the other metals studied. This is neglecting the even more obvious point that it’s a completely irrelevant comparison, we should compare to equivalent alternatives!
